Farewell

So it's fare thee well My darling true I'm leaving in the first hour of the morn' I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico Or maybe even coastal Californ' So it's fare thee well My own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' That's grieving me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind Oh, the weather is against me And the wind blows hard And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail I still might strike it lucky On a highway goin' west But I'm traveling on a half-beaten trail So it's fare thee well My own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' That's grieving me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind I will write you a letter From time to time As I'm ramblin', you can travel with me, too With my head and my heart And my hands, my love I will send what I learn back home to you So it's fare thee well My own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' That's grieving me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind I will tell you of the laughter And the troubles Be them somebody else's or my own With my hands in my pockets And my coat collar high I will travel unnoticed and unknown So it's fare thee well My own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' That's grieving me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind It ain't the leavin' That's grieving me But my true love, who's bound to stay behind
